Home of Preloved Clothes, Homeware and Mouthwatering Food
Welcome to Mekko Market & Cafe - Australia's first Rent a Rack Market in the heart of Prospect, SA! Our journey started over 6 years ago, in 2018, when we realized this much loved Finnish concept wasn't in Australia yet, and we were wondering where everyone sold their preloved clothes!
Because of our love for food (and Mekko's co owner Tom being a chef), we wanted to spice up the traditional Finnish Rent a Rack market concept by opening our very own brunch cafe in the same premises!
​
Still to this day, we are Australia's first and only Rent a Rack market with it's very own brunch cafe. Think of Scandinavian cocktails, affordable meals with generous serving sizes and beautiful alfresco terrace overlooking Prospect Road. Perfect spot to catch up with friends and family!
​
Do you have clothes in our wardrobe you no longer wear?
Small homeware you would like to sell?
Why not Rent a rack with us and turn your unwanted clothes and homeware into cash! There is no need to stay in store as we do all the selling for you! Track your sales online in real time and refill as much as you sell!
When entering Mekko, you are welcomed by green plants, smiley faces and colorful walls. This heritage listed art deco building used to be a police station and a courthouse. The old jail cells (green doors) can still be found at the back of the building and you are more than welcome to go and have a look next to our car park.
​
In our boutique style preloved market you will find bargains you never knew existed - never pay a full price again! Think of Mimco, Gorman, Seed, Mr Zimi, Shona Joy, Camilla, Sass n Bide, Witchery, Lorna Jane, Zara and Country Road just to name few and up to 90% off their original price!
Our stallholders are fashionistas with a good taste which guarantees you'll be spoilt for choice! Our stall holders can start their rack rentals any day of the week so new clothes are guaranteed to arrive daily!

In 2021, we opened our sister market Monday Market in the Parade, Norwood.

We had an amazing breakfast at this cafe during the weekend. Scrambled eggs on toast with added smoked salmon and cheese which was more than delicious. Outdoor sittings had a nice view of the street. The staff was friendly with great customer service. Highly recommended.

They just nail all their new monthly specials. Always enjoyed their different lattes eg red velvet, turmeric and now matcha chai
Good breakfast burgers, coffee, and smoothie. It's also fun to have a look at the racks for some clothes while waiting for food to be served. 😊
Vegetarian options: You can swap the bacon of the breakfast burgers for halloumi!
